Question about modding, regarding CBBE and the presets.

[Citizen X]

Hello. This might be a noob question, as i just started to get into Skyrim modding

When using CBBE, all NPC bodies are replaced with the Curvy preset (I chose that).

My question is, if its possible, how can I give one of my followers a different preset, say Athletic or Slim? Just as an example to learn from, I want to give Brelyna from the College the Slim preset. How does one go about this?

I have body slide and racemenu. But I dont know where to go from here.

Any help is appreciated. Cheers

(I barely understand any terminology, but Im spending hours now trying to learn from old posts and Youtube videos. Modding in this game seems extremely bloated from my noob perspective)

And, as Ilja posted, ask if you have question or are unsure of something - we are glad to help!

Also, as Corinze said - never forget the most important thing of all: have fun!

Thank you, brother. All the help is greatly appreciate. Both Ilja and Corinze have provided solutions to my initial request :)

Right now, Im trying to figure out how to convert Outfits build on 3BBB -> 3BA chassis, which has more sliders in total. I appreciate any help through responses, or even some suggestions of good tutorials.

Thanks everyone

The base content you are working with likely comes from a plugin. If you need to test them in game, you can use either console or - perhaps more easiest - AddItemMenu to get them for testing.

This is fantastic. A must need forsure. My plan right now is to attempt conversions of some outfits, and request them via this AddItemMenu. Ill report back!!! :)

You can post any link from source, like imgurl. My pictures were from Discord, where we have specific scrdistr channel for forum screenshots. That way they will not clutter other channels (but of course leave others wondering what the heck that Old Imp is doing this time.)

However, Steam has very good Screenshot and artwork system as well. You can upload pictures as artwork and post the link under the Share button to thread, so that they will open as thumbnails.

Your Profile right sidebar > Artwork > Upload Artwork.

For example, this image was shared as an artwork. It was an ingame screenshot, but there was an error and screenshot manager refused to upload it again. I uploaded it as artwork instead.

Ok, to start, here is my Bodyslide Curvy Preset

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3008616470

This body has some 20 Sliders for the genitalia

After Ive done the "Build Batch", I open and preview a random outfit from Ghaans (G3B)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3008616860

As you can see, the amount of sliders present is significantly reduced. There are other missing sliders in different categories as well.

Now, I have an example from another mod "Equal Topless" or something. Same process; build batch

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3008617131

And with this outfit, all sliders are present, and there is no visible changes when putting on in-game

When I open up "Equal Topless" in Outfit Studio (sorry for the widescreen here), in the top far-right corner, I have the Body asset Highlighted, which reads 3BA

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3008617452

Where-as with the Ghaans outfit. with the fewer slider sets, uses the 3BBB Body.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3008617688

This is why I believe 3BA and 3BBB are different. They are visibly different in-game as well.


What I image I should be able to do, is change the Body from 3BBB -> 3BA. What I need help with most likely, is knowing where to save this conversion, so that I can access in-game. The AddItemMenu looks to be absolutely perfect for that final step, but it needs to be an .esp file. Are all outfits .esp? Im noob :(

PS Im guessing "3BA" must stand for the Body "CBBE 3BBB Body Amazing". And I dont even see the normal "CBBE 3BBB" option that the Ghaans Outfits are using. Since I have no context really about anything, my only guess is that 3BA must be an updated version? Or rather has had an update? I have no idea

Just making sure you are running through all the steps in BodySlide.

Top Right / Outfit Filter
Type in cbbe

Next dropdown on left/ Group Filter
select Choose Groups
select all the cbbe/3BBB/3BA and any remaining armor/clothing mods. If there are Himbo, UUNP, Touched by Dibella, SOS groups leave those unchecked.

Now Top Right/ OutFit Body
select CBBE 3BBB Body Amazing

under Preset
select the Zero boby slide file

Down Left / Batch Build
Make sure Build Morphs Box is checked
Right Click and select all
and click Build.

This should take care of all the npc in game with oBody and use the in game hot key to change body types on individual NPC.

To make your body if female
select the same CBBE 3BBB Boby Amazing and choice and adjust the preset of choice. Personally I usually select CBBE Oppai and make adjustments with the sliders. Once done hit
Build / Bottom Center

Closeout Body Slide.
